Footprints

Peter Douglas-Jones wrote: A series of little shots on my mobile. The big prints might be curlew and the small ones whimbrel, but who knows? They were on Llangennith beach this morning [13th], above and below the highest point the tide had reached. The smaller bird drags it's hind toe; but in some shots the larger bird does the same.
Peter, my guesses would be Curlew (or maybe Oystercatcher) for the larger print and Carrion Crow for the smaller one with the long hind toe and dragging claw.
